He then started to mix several dog breeds for this purpose. Soon enough Mr. Doberman gathered the perfect prototype of the breed, that originated from German Shepherd, German Pinscher, Greyhound, Weimaraner, and the Black & Tan Manchester Terrier. The original Dobermann dogs looked a little different than today's Dobermann breed, with rounder heads and a thicker bone structure, which in time was bred to have a more narrow race-like look. By the year 1900, the Dobermann dog became so popular that it had its own breed club. Dobermann dogs originally were used as police dogs, and guard dogs. In time, these valuable functions became the desire of many household families, in addition to the sleek, defined appearance of the dog.
